The End of Rob's Big One




	Yes folks, we all know that the Dew man has wanted to get his hands on Rob's Big One for a long time now. He has yearned for the moment when he could touch it, feel it, fondle it. Rob's Big One has grown lately, grown bigger and bigger. And with it has grown the desire, passion and excitement of Dewey to have it. It was so close he could almost taste it. Unfortunately, Rob shriveled at the end leaving the Big One just out of his grasp (Shit, I can't believe I just wrote this stuff I'm gonna heave). Well, the long wait is over and on the very first hand of the Oct 3^rd game Dewey eeked out a thrilling half point victory to beat Rob out of his own Big One. (Then again, Rob can get his hands on his own Big One any time he pleases). So just how BIG was the Big One you ask? He are just the facts, Ma'am, just the facts: Rob's Big One began - Sept 7, 1999 Rob's Big One ended - Oct 3, 2000 Final point tally - Dewey - 50 Rob - 49.5 Mike - 40 Mark - 37.5 Bryan - 33.5 (missed 3 games) Dave - 24.5 (missed 4 games) Total cash - $71.00 (BTW Dewey, Mike still owes you a quarter for that last game!)

There you have it, the ups and downs, ins and outs, and Dews and don'ts of the first annual (ahh, make that first and last) Rob's Big One. O, just one more thing, while pouring over all the score sheets during this statistical analysis I happened to notice that game number 13 on 5/23/00 was a Guts game but no winner was ever checked off . Might that have changed Rob's Big One history? Perhaps, but I guess we'll never know. See y'all next time...if Mikey remembers to OPA us.
